The current context will keep someone at bay, however, in Cambodia, the idea to create a Bourse (Stock Exchange) is still in the news. The location for the site is almost found. Economic crisis or not, Cambodia wants its bourse. Keat Chhon, the vice-PM and minister of Economy and Finance, reminded about this issue again in front of reporters this morning. “The government announced the creation of the bourse in 2009. In spite of the world economic crisis, we are always determined to do so,” Keat Chhon claimed. If the idea is still current, Keat Chhon said that he was waiting for a move from his South Korean partner. As for the location to build this establishment, Keat Chhon talked about a 32-story building that Canadia Bank is currently building in front of the Phnom Penh train station.
